Sing HU to all God’s creatures and see what they say
Before singing a HU Song (A Love Song to God) at ECKANKAR’s Course on Spiritual Wisdom on Relationships last night I looked at the large old trees outside, thought of my love for All Beings, and how they play with the light (filtered by their form, reflected by their leaves) and sound (wind) of God.
We [...]
Wild track diggers make a pig of a job
Are there any compassionate hunters who talk to the animals, asking them first if they are prepared to be hunted, prepared to die, to feed the hunter?
We need to talk to one.
A recent walk of our tracks revealed that the wild pig(s) are making digging up our trails a live and death issue. I’ve talked [...]
Pet Woodies – Native Wood Pigeons
I wondered what was I going to write about. Would it really be that important.
The two native wood pigeons answered by flying in to perch right outside my window. Looking one directly in the eye I knew, yes, I was still to write about the “Woodies”.
But everyone has pet wood pigeons “They are so friendly [...]
Spider Engineers a cross-country transit
Observing nature is one of the passions of Lorraine Burlingham. A passion she explores at Harmony Farm and that is shared with regular postings to and to their website www.gemstonetherapy.info with its portals to All Beings, Deep Ecology, and Earth Healing.
Here is one such story special to the Harmony Forest blog:
Taking some lettuce down to [...]
Fear of the unknown could destroy the environment before it’s safe to study it
Fearing that which we do not know we destroy that which we would seek to understand.
Ready enough to understand that we want to understand our environment, but not yet ready to save much of it for study. We believe all we need to know something is to have specimens. But a million oil and waste [...]
People Talk – Tree Talk
People Talk
Lets meet to save the forests. Lets walk and save on burning fuels made from dead old trees and deforested fields of bio-fuel.
No lets bike in tandem; our bodies will convert least of carbon fuels we call food to carbon gas and methane.
Let’s meet in the central hall to minimise our travel.
No lets meet [...]

The young folk will say there weren’t Kauris
On display at Kauri Museum, Matakohe, 16/7/2008 I found this beautiful sentiment and wisdom by Koroheke.
“There’s a lot of old stumps by the roadside,
One of them twelve feet through.
I remember the day we felled that tree,
With four of an expert crew.
There was Ngati and King and Heta,
All Maoris from Puketi,
We’d all spent our lives in [...]
Building in the Trees with the Sun and Birds
Forest Gardening is to become really deep and personal for us. We are about to move out of town to dwell permanently in the forest. Our house in town has just been sold and ceases to be my second home away from home on June 20th.
The comforts of city life are about to be replaced [...]
Harmony is a conscious community
How large a full moon looks when she first rises above the horizon.
Her passion for being present is full on.
When people decide to come to Harmony they often have this same full on passion to pop over the horizon and be in Harmony. Yet many of them wane quicker than the moon and never [...]
